hot one in on his own account. Reagan
fought hard and fast and elected great
praise from the witnesses. Dempsey
ended the round by throwing Reagan

with his left, when Reagan rushed in on
him. A clinch ensued, Dempsey throw
ing him.
Round Twelve-Dempsey led short at
Reagan's ribs with his left, the latter
returning and landing on the same spot.
Dempsey clinched and threw Reagan
again. falling heavily upon him. In
fact Dempsey put his beef to such good
use that Reagan grunted with pain. 1t
was evident that Dempsey was by far
the better wrestler and that Reagan had
the worst of the bargain in agreeing to
London rules. Reagan, however, went
on like Spartan.
Round Thirteen-This round opened
with clinch and savage work at short
range, Dempsey attempting again to
back-heel his antagonist. when Reagan
went down OH his knees to avoid the
fall.
Round FOurteen-The ''NonpareIl'
opened this round with iab with his
right and a swing with his left that was
neatly stopped. Reagan rushed Demp-
sey, failing at him Savagely, when
clinch followed and Dempsey threw this
man hard.
Round Fifteen-Dempsey led off with
his left at Reagan'S optics. 1t was
nasty blow, but Reagan parried it beau
tifully. He then landed a scorcher on
Reagan's breast which the young one
returned in the same place with inter-
est. Both men SPARED for wind. In
Egrh nd n al fnl ha N

Sey again on top.
Round Eighteen-DPmpsey opened
with a terrible blow straight from the
shoulder, and which Reagan superbly
stopped. Dempsey then came short in
pass for Reagan's eye, but finally sue
ceeded in humping him Oh the nose.
and again on the same tender spot.
Reagan seemed ratified, and in a clinch
which followed Dempsey got Reagan'S
head in chancery and chopped it un-
mercifully. The red fluid flowed down
the neck of the game fellow, who was
giving the "NOnpaTeil'' a hot battle.
Dempsey threw Reagan and so ended
the round.
Round Nineteen-DempSey had thus
far the best of the fight and seemed
likely to be the winner. Reagan, how
ever. went to the doctor and took his
medicine with a cough. Reagan re-
ceived two savage upper cuts in aclinch,
which resulted liz more blood.
Round Twenty Dempsey kept up an
unhOly tattoo on Reagan,S ribs. He had
already bruised Reagan body until the
OoZing blood made it appear raw. He
WIS very eXasperating and made use of
his well-knOwn generalship TO advan-
tage. When Reagan went down to avoid
another fall Dempsey said snceringly:
Get up and fight, you d-m-d cur"
Reagan did not relish this, but the
round was closed.
Round Twenty-One-Rea showed
that he was angry when he came up
and the fight was fast and furious. Rea-
gan sent in his blows right and left. and
the 'Nonparei!' did his own part of the
hammering, till a clinch and fall closed
the round.
Round Twenty-Five This round
was notable chiefly because of savage
fall in which Reagan's back warmed the
earth.
Round wenty-three-Reagan dropped
repeatedly TO avoid DempSey's wrestling
tactics.
Round Twenty-fOur-Dempsey kept
on tantaiZing Reagan and he sarcasti-
cally remarked, You ought to have
spikes on, referring 10 his injured leg.
Reagan went down on his knee when
Dempsey tried to clinch him.
Round Twenty-five-It was savage
one. Dempsey landed terrific blow
on Reagan'S eyes. following it up with
right and left on Reagan'S face. The
latter was game through and through.
Rounds twenth-SiX and twenty-Seven
were marked by rapid and effective
pounding, Dempsey doing the work.
Rounds twenty-eight to thirty-four
were not remarkable. save for Reagan's
frequent going down TO save himself
and by claims of foul by Dempsey's
umpire, who even urged Dempsey to
strike Reagan while he was on his knee.
Jack said lie wouldn't take the chances
of losing on foul.
Round Thirty-five-Reagan made
good rally, rushing Dempsey into his
corner. but the shouting. when added to
the rush, constituted the greatest inter
est. Dempsey was taking his time TO do
his man,
Rounds 81. 81 and IS were remarkable
only because of a terrible thump in the
thirty seventh on Reagan's ribs.
Rounds 80, 80 and Al were warm, par
ticularly the fOrty-frSt. both men aver
aging up well. In the forty-frst both
men at the same instant fetched each
other vicious clips with right and left.
Dempsey had scarcely mark on him at
this time. His left eye was slightly
swollen.
Rounds 70, 43 and a practically closed
the battle. In these three rounds
Dempsey numerically punished Rea-
gan, whose lips were puffed and his left
eye was badly swollen. He was, it was
voted 10y the spectators, as game man
as ever stood in ring. He never cried
quits.
Round FOrty-five-At the beginning of
this round, Bob Smith at the Solicita-
ton Of Reagan's friends. who said lie
had no chance of winning. jumped into
the ring and threw up the sponge. The
fight lasted one hour and nine minutes.
In the first ring there was eighteen
minutes fighting and the second fifty
one minutes. The fight ended at l D.
m, leaving Dempsey still the cham
pion middle-weight. Both men
weighed at the ring to-day 147 each.
Dempsey has won thirty battles, and
has had six draws. He has never been
defeated. Reagan has only got two
fights before. This is his third and his
first defeat.
